Because you're locked in

Mentally, for sure. I’d say iOS is more intuitive. Android is a great OS too, and runs on almost anything.

We’re very lucky to have two really good phone OS products to choose from.

Back in the day it was Nokia, Ericsson or some shitty product from Microsoft.

Honestly they are so close and do literally the exact same things AND most importantly just portals for people to use their favourite apps that it really doesn't matter what either is.

It's just easier to keep using whatever someone's been using for years beforehand

I’d say you can get hooked in to the Apple brand more because of the AirPods and communications between the laptop, phone and watch. Eg the watch unlocks the laptop, and seamlessly moving a call between all three devices without thinking about it.
